Default Fresh out of the paint shop

Just got my vette out of the paint shop. New paint, interior, chrome, top, all new wiring, ect... Had that mentality "since we have gone this far" turned into a 2 year project but think it turned out great. I have owned this car almost 20 years and it still gets my blood going just looking at it. My favorite body style of all the generations for sure.

Beautiful car! Love the roll bars!
Curious how you arrived at the "pirate" part of your screen name?

Screen name comes from the offshore powerboat racing team that I co-owne and race. Pirate racing is a team that races super Vee lite class in the opa racing organization. You can find some awesome videos on YouTube or go to my team's Facebook page.

It looks great. After you drop it down we need more pictures. In the mean time enjoy what you have already accomplished.
